OK early this summer I had to change the battery out on my 98 F-150, well i got the replacement and as I was hooking up the cables I got to wondering if the polarity was correct, so i took the new battery back and got a different one, hooked it up and tried to start the truck, funny thing happened as soon as I turned the key on the wipers started running and so did the windshield washers, they were squirting water out. I thought I must have turned them on, wrong, tryed to start the truck anyway, nothing, radio went off, clock also. I also forgot to tell you that the dome light came on and wouldn’t go off. Lol smoked one of the 2 mega fuses, fried the alternator, radio fuse, and one more fuse in the panel to the ing switch. In my defense both battery cables are black and there is no red end on the pos cable. Muhahaha o by the way the first battery was the correct one. I should have kept it. 🙂
